mikeharvey22 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Oxford Diecast have a Vauxhall Corsa in Military Police battenburg which can easily be made civilian. There is also a land Rover Discovery in police, fire, and highway agency patrol battenburg colours. The Cararama 1/72 range has police liveried Volvo V70, Mercedes Vito, Mercedes M class, Mercedes C class, BMW X5, as well as suitable Skodas to relivery. The Yatming Road Signatures 1/72 range included BMW 3 series, Jaguar S type, and Vauxhall Vectra in battenburg colours. Finding the Yatmings may prove a challenge, but the others are either current or turn up on Ebay fairly regularly. Almost forgot the just-released Oxford Diecast Lotus Evora in current Central Policing Motorways patrol battenburg livery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cararama also do the Range Rover in 'Battenburg' livery, this and the Volvo V70 are slightly smaller than 1/72, about 1/74. The Range Rover is also right hand drive and the Volvo is screwed together like the Oxford models so should be easy to modify. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium it's-er Posted February 1, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Georg Hämel of Auto & Modell, Germany, has now posted his report of the Nurnberg Toy Fair 2015. His reports are always excellent, covering new items from many makers. Here is his report on Oxford Diecast, with 36 photographs of forthcoming models. Although it is labelled OD 1/43, quite a number of the photos are of 1/76 models. Many shown here have not been seen before. These include the Aston Martins and Datsun in 1/43, and the Land Rover Carmichael fire in 1/76. Enjoy! http://www.auto-und-modell.de/pages/aktuell/1600/Spielwarenmesse-2015-Oxford-Diecast-143/ John Edited February 1, 2015 by it's-er Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Atlas version is not being made by Oxford this is an entirely new model. Hopefully it will become available within the next 12 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungrange Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 what I really want is the Komatsu excavator in 1:76! An engineering prototype of the Komatsu excavator model was shown at Nuremberg. I was also interested in this announcement, although I was unaware of quite how large these machines actually are. The same engineering prototype was also on display at Model Rail Scotland this weekend and at first I thought it must be 1:43! It's a bit too large to sit on a railway wagon, as the caterpillar tracks are quite far apart. However, speaking to the Oxford Diecast representative, it appears that this is the start of a new range and they intend to make some smaller and possibly some larger construction plant in the future. I may therefore be buying a few items from this range over the next few years. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dungrange Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I notice that the Land Rover Defender Berlin Scheme has now been released, but although featured in the latest version of Globe, I'm still not sure when this colour scheme was introduced and whether or not vehicles in this livery have ever been seen on UK roads. Can anyone enlighten me? At least the RAF version carries an '02' plate, so I may end up purchasing that version instead, even if I am not sure where 90 Signals Unit would operate.

Les Bird Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I could do with a 4 door Ford Cortina Mk 2 for a start off. Every model I've ever seen of the Mk2, regardless of scale and whether ready made or a kit, has been 2-door. In reality, the 4-door was far more common (sorry, popular!)

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted May 16, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 16, 2015 Every model I've ever seen of the Mk2, regardless of scale and whether ready made or a kit, has been 2-door. In reality, the 4-door was far more common (sorry, popular!) But the 'sporty' variants such as the Lotus Cortina are invariably two door, and models of the 'sporty' cars sell far more than those of standard models. The Oxford 2 door Mk1 Cortina outsells the Base Toys 4 door version by a considerable margin despite IMHO being the better and more accurate casting. (The same can't be said for the wheels and interior though, but the Oxford chassis and interior can be fitted to Base Toys body with a bit of fettling.)

Peter Bedding Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I would like to see more Vauxhalls covered. I would certainly like to see a Prince Henry Vauxhall, or even a 30/98. For all that we admire the current work of OD, PocketBond were a contender for best, less than a decade ago. PB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, jo Go to Facebook.com and search for Oxford Diecast Collectors, or this link might work:- http://www.facebook.com/groups/282491821467/This is a public group so group membership is not needed to view it. It is not a group run officially by Oxford Diecast, so the group rules need to be observed, like "No wishlisting" which would take away the time available for the new item presentation, etc. There is a separate "Wishlist" site for those who want to test out their pet project on other enthusiasts/collectors. http://www.facebook.com/groups/601429333223215/This is a closed group, so membership is needed to view it.
